Crimes of the South African Police Service

Mike Wood’s article about 3 unfit officers losing a suspect opposite the Knysna police station prompts me to emphasize his point.
This photo features an officer from the Knysna Traffic Department on the corner of Grey Street. She was walking incredibly slowly down the street when I first noticed her.
I don’t believe in being cruel regards weight. For that reason, i’ve cut off the face of the lady involved here. People should live their lives they want to. However, the exception should be for the fitness levels of those in uniform whose job it is to represent the law.
I don’t believe an individual should be targeted, and i will be saddened if her fellow officers rag her, but Knysna Municipality should be questioning the heads of Local Law Enforcement, Traffic and the SAPS regards their health policy, rules and regulations… and enforcement of such.
